Oh, that is interesting. Thanks for input. Then I must have misunderstood a comment from one of my buddies whom works on this stuff. I understood that there were several pre-programmed messages already in the app and that if the app can't connect to the server, one type of message is displayed (can't connect), and if it can ping the server, but a DB issue then another message is displayed, and rarely is a message pushed unless connections are ok. Guess I will have to ask again. At least all is well for now.

Um, yeah, not so much as it was flaky all night and is a lot worse now.Oh, that is interesting. Thanks for input.

If he actually worked on this app then excellent and things changed yesterday because first we got the ‘error’ and then the ‘temp maintenance’ message. But it makes no sense to have it not report to the user that it is not their fault and have us waste tons of time screwing around changing and reentering passwords or rebooting cars when it’s 100% on the server side.
There should be distinct messages between bad password, bad connection, server down, etc. and now we’re back to ‘unknown error’. Good grief.

Amen to that !
He wrote the connection api that is used by several companies with apps ( development tool), so guess I can't go slap him silly. Oh what the heck. I'll slap him silly anyway

Disruption is hard.
Odd. I used summon a few times yesterday while the servers were down using my fob and it worked fine.

Today while the app was still working I had to park in between two cars, it was so tight I was going to use summon. Fortunately I decided not to park there because I feared the other drivers would open their doors and damage my car.
In the end I'm glad I didn't use summon. You see, in Europe (?) we can only summon using the app. Not the fob or by using the gear selector. I would have been unable to get my car out of the tight spot since the app was down when I wanted to leave!

It's down for me again. This time no error but the app just keeps spinning at the bottom and does not update.
I gotta say this smells a bit like a DDOS attack.

FYI, it has been a while since the traditional telcos gave you a dedicated copper pair from your home to the network switch for old fashioned battery backup POTS service. Now even if you use a copper pair from your home, somewhere not too far away it jumps onto a fiber backbone to the telco. Maybe there is backup power, maybe not. But not like the old days. And yes, there was sabotage in Mountain View a few years back, when someone with the knowledge and skill found an underground manhole/vault and cut several critical fiber lines. This took down ISPs and traditional telcos as well.
